Frigidaire Washers Recognized for Energy Efficiency

September 08, 2010

Frigidaire's new Affinity front-load washers took four of the top five spots in the Environmental Protection Agency and the Department of Energy’s Energy Star efficiency rankings. The rankings take into account the energy used to run the washer, heat the water and run the dryer, as well as water efficiency.

Frigidaire estimates that consumers could save 7,000 gallons of water and $149 a year if they converted from a conventional washer to its Energy Star-qualified front-loading model. The product’s Energy Saver option further reduces energy use up to 60 percent.
